Setting up fancycache software#

I have used both FancРµСљСљache (starting 2 years ago), and Primocache, and have had terrific results (I purchased the 2-license pack for $49.00 - a bargain).

Apart from some benchmarks that have a diskspeed component eg: pc mark 7 general web browsing and repeated tasks just run much faster with primocache.a great and usefull piece of software if nothing else it will help reduce the number reads and write of your tlc nand flash which what your evo 840 drives use and help prolong the drives life span:thumbsup: Disk benchmarks skyrocket with a RAM cache because its giving you RAM speed not actual disk speed.this is why RAID 0 will always give you better real world disk speed in day to day tasks and results in snappier performance. Using RAPID and Primocache at the same time would be pointless as essentially they do the same thing. The advantage of Primocache is that your not restricted to only 1GB of RAM so you can make the cache any size you like depending on how much RAM your system has. Primocache essentially does the same thing as RAPID but unlike RAPID it works with RAID setups and any brand of HDD. Personally i use default settings which allocates about 8 GB of RAM. Primocache should be disabled when installing software or doing windows updates.

Now as a new user, please answer my questions:Р”РЋ) How to setup PrimoCache and how much RAM should I allocate? by default, it chose to use 15 GB out of my 32 GB RAM (specs below)Р”Р„ny step by step instructions to how to go on about setting up as I saw some options that I didn't know what they do so I just let everything at defaultР”Сћ) Does PrimoCache improve overtime by learning how I use my system and choosing what it would cache?Р”Р€) is it true that one should install PrimoCache last as it can cripple software installations?Р”В¤) Should I enable RAPID WITH PrimoCache or leave that useless thing aside?Р”Тђ) When I benchmarked my SSD, the scores sky rocketed, how was PrimoCache improving a synthetic benchmark when it was the first time I run that benchmark? it didn't even have time to cache anything?Р”В¦) My Samsung Magician OS Optimzation tweaks disable Superfetch, is this OK? will it interfere with how PrimoCache works? I have previously enabled RAPID mode in Samsung Magician but I never noticed any improvement in my system only in benchmarks which is a marketing gimmick from Samsung. 1st Drive: C: parition / Size 858 GB (due to over provisioning) where I installed the OS + GamesР”Сћnd Drive: D: partition / Size 858 GB (due to over provisioning) where I have my documents + music + videos + etc
